College Lane Elementary

Summary:

College Lane Elementary is a public elementary school in Hobbs, New Mexico, serving 519 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Hobbs Municipal Schools district, which has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

College Lane Elementary has a higher percentage of Hispanic (67.63%) and White (28.52%) students compared to nearby schools in the area. Academically, the school outperformed the state average in Language Arts (38% vs. 38%) and Mathematics (32% vs. 24%) proficiency, but performed on par with the state in Science (34%). However, the school's performance varied compared to other schools in the district, with some schools performing better and others performing worse across the core subject areas. Notably, College Lane Elementary's ranking among New Mexico elementary schools was relatively better for male students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds compared to female students and English Language Learners.

Despite the school's consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the years, the quality of education within the Hobbs Municipal Schools district appears to be uneven, with schools like Coronado Elementary, Broadmoor Elementary, and Mills Elementary performing significantly better than College Lane Elementary. The school's extremely high percentage of students (100%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch also indicates significant economic challenges that may require additional resources and support to address the unique needs of the student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
